Production Skills- Intro to Panasonic Camera

After we were introduced to the Canon camera we were given an introduction to the Panasonic camera, both cameras have a lot of similarities and the Panasonic camera has a lot of features that the Canon camera has so I won't go into too much detail about that. The Panasonic camera can film in both 16:9 and 4:3 unlike the Canon camera, when using microphones for sound it is important to know there is a line option and a mic option so you need to have it correctly set up for the use of the mic. We were informed about OIS (Optical Image Stabilisation) which can help when using the camera handheld with any sudden movements or vibrations that camera picks up. We were also made aware during this intro about Interlace and Progressive frame rates/scanning. Interlace is two images/fields that come together to make one image, there split into odds and evens and it's main benefit is that it can give detailed images within a limited bandwidth. Progressive gives a more filmic look, it delivers the whole image and allows for images to seem smoother and sharper.
